Alaska deal: ‘On Your Own’ with Princess

A sizable portion of tourists who travel to Alaska do so on a cruise ship. Ships in all shapes and sizes and brands sail out of the main homeports of Seattle and Vancouver. However, there is a lot more to see in the “great white north.”

Princess Cruises, among other lines, not only operate round-trip shore excursions in ports but also operate Alaska Cruisetours for passengers on one-way cruises starting in the south or north.

And now Princess is having a sale of its “On Your Own” packages.

These packages include transportation and accommodation and they represent short-duration add-ons to a cruise. You have to fly one way into (or out of) Anchorage or Fairbanks on these journeys.

Here is an example of the combo land-and-cruise tour (includes taxes and fees)…

On Your Own (10 days):

Cruise between Anchorage (Whittier) and Vancouver — 7 days at sea plus three more on a Denali Interior land tour; price for May 13 is $989, on the Island Princess.
